Imakuni? (CoroCoro promo)

This article is about a Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game card which has not yet been officially released in English and, hence, may not be released outside of Japan. As such, this article may contain translated Japanese terms instead of English terms.

At the beginning of your turn, flip a coin. If heads, you can do nothing during your turn. If tails, your opponent can do nothing during his or her next turn.

You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

Release information

In Japan, this card was available as an insert with the September 1997 issue of CoroCoro Comic, released in August 1997. It was later reprinted and reclassified as a Supporter card with updated artwork in the Japanese EX Battle Boost. This print no longer features Hit Points, and the additional text at the bottom of the card is replaced by the Supporter card rule.

Trivia

Although this card was never released as a physical card in English, it does appear in the Game Boy Pokémon Trading Card Game. This version was translated for the English release of the game and has alternate text from the original Japanese promotional card:

Your Active Pokémon is now Confused. Imakuni wants you to play him as a Basic Pokémon, but you can't. A mysterious creature not listed in the Pokédex. He asks kids around the world, "Who is cuter-Pikachu or me?"

Do Nothing

At the beginning of your turn, flip a coin. If heads, you can do nothing during your turn. If tails, your opponent can do nothing during his or her next turn.

This was the first card to have "Photo." instead of "Illus." where the illustrator name is traditionally placed. It was also the first to have an image of a real-life person, one of only a handful of cards to do so. The EX Battle Boost print lacks a "Photo." or "Illus." credit.
